The Power Air Fryer XL has a lot going for it and for this reason, it occupies a very special spot on this list. It is perhaps the most powerful fryer at 1700 Watts. This fryer can do whatever you want it to do with your food. It can cook, fry, roast, bake, and grill. To get the scoop, read the At Least We Fried Power Air Fryer XL Review.
Power Air Fryer XL Review
Included in the fryer is a basket divider which helps divide the cooking area into two parts so you can cook two different food items at once. This model comes in at 5.3QT. The design is pretty much what you will find with most fryers and it comes with a digital display with 7 preset configurations for various food items. You can also set your desired time and temperature, and the unit automatically goes off when the timer elapses. This way your food immediately tops cooking. The unit is cool to touch even after it has cooked up till temperatures of 400 °F
We couldn’t carry out a comprehensive test of this unit as we haven’t been able to get our hands on one but having researched a lot of the reviews online, there is one major problem that keeps coming up. Users have reported it is very difficult to remove and reinsert the drawer when trying to turn food to its other side. Due to the high temperature, the drawer usually bends out of shape and sometimes you have to wait for the unit to cool down so that the drawer regains its original shape.
At a higher price point, it is natural to expect a lot better in terms of heat management. What’s more, it seems the 1700 watts operating power is a major disadvantage here. Notwithstanding, this fryer has made its way to 10th place.
Another reoccurring issue is the misinformation in the recipe books that comes with it. It’s been reported that the cooking time and temperatures for some food have been over extended. Looking beyond the aforementioned flaws, this unit is a pretty standard one but if you need a lot more reliability with heat and cooking. You might want to look higher up the list especially if you are willing to part ways with a little more cash.
